DD1 has lots and lots of thick wavy hair so I started trimming her fringe by myself when she was a baby. At 18mo I took her to the hairdresser for a real fringe cut. She was great and sat in the special chair with the special cape on feeling like a big girl. She got a treat afterwards. The rest of her hair didn't get touched until she was 3 and she had a proper cut - it is so long that when it is wet it touches the small of her back!!!
